“Rev. Dr. Catherine M. Gross” There's a place in her heart and we know that it was “Love” ~ In A World Filled With Hate - We Must Emulate L.O.V.E.~
Dr. Rev. Catherine M. Gross – A Tribute I wrote the following tribute to our dear Catherine last week in the hopes that I would be able to find someone to read it at her services on May 15, 2017, however, I have been unable to do so. I am posting it here in her memory and honor, as my personal tribute to a good friend and remarkable woman. Well, I guess Catherine won’t have to emigrate to Canada (an idea that she proposed in the last few months of her remarkable life.) Instead, she has emigrated to a much higher plane. Many of you present here today may think of Catherine as a mother, a grandmother, an aunt, an educator, an administrator, or a personal friend. However, it may surprise you to know that she was thought of in much the same fashion by her friends in the Michael Jackson Fan Community, which has members in every country, on every continent on this planet. In the Michael Jackson Fan Community, Dr. Reverend Catherine M. Gross was a shining star. She was a teacher; she was a mentor; she was a minister; she was a friend; and she lead by example. She was a tower of strength in times of struggle, a beacon of LOVE and UNITY, and a bridge spanning the sometimes vast distances between us. Many of us got to know her through her on-line radio talk show, A Place In Your Heart, which was broadcast internationally. Personally, when she talked to me to ask if she could conduct an interview with me, I was dumbfounded. I had never thought of myself as an interesting subject for an interview, but she insisted that I had a lot to say and that she wanted to devote an entire show to me and to my books. Catherine saw potential in everyone she ever met or talked to, often long before he or she saw that potential themselves. She nurtured that potential in every way she could. She encouraged, uplifted and brought out the best in everyone. As a teacher, I imagine Catherine’s students would tell much the same story. Later, when I was determined to learn to draw, Catherine invited me to participate in an Art Exhibition. Once again, I was hesitant. (You would have thought I would have learned my lesson by this time, but I am pretty stubborn.) My earliest drawings were certainly nothing to exhibit. Nonetheless, she insisted. Catherine was like Michael Jackson in many ways. One of those ways was: If it was worth doing, to Catherine it was worth doing BIG! If you’re going to make a splash, make it a BIG splash. She was talking about makeup artists, getting our hair done, and having television cameras on the scene. For a novice artist, Catherine’s “can do,” “let’s go” attitude was frightening. I was ready for baby steps; Catherine was setting up the marquee with neon lights. God love her. This dream kept Catherine strong during the almost year and a
half from May 2015 through August of the following year, when her health took a turn for the worse. I talked with Catherine every evening during her hospital and nursing home stays on the pretext of reading to her from my vast library of inspirational works by Kahlil Gibran, Gregg Braden, Rabindranath Tagore, and my own humble publications. Every evening without fail, regardless of how well she felt, she ended our conversation with the thought that this Michael Jackson Art Exhibition was going to happen. She was determined to make it a reality; and she succeeded. I am so grateful that she lived to realize the dream that she had held onto with such vigor and faith. Her wonderful inaugural Michael Jackson Art Exhibition happened in Gary, Indiana in August, 2016 and I did participate along with artists from Hong Kong, Russia, Sweden, The Netherlands, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States.
Michael Jackson Inaugural Fan Art Display Video by: Noble Love My thanks to Noble Love for the wonderful video. It was a remarkable achievement, the crowning glory for a strong, determined, spiritual, faith-filled woman who has left her mark on all of our hearts. Catherine was determined that the Michael Jackson Art Exhibit would be an annual event to bring the fan community together and she would have moved heaven and earth to make that happen. At the time of her Continuation Day, she was in negotiations to find a permanent home for the art she had collected and wanted to expand the exhibit to include costumes, sculptures, and even performance art. Catherine, thank you for your faith in me … your faith in all of us. I won’t say I will miss you, because, as Michael Jackson sang, “You are always in my heart.” ~Jan Carlson~

~Michelle Jackson~ I found this quote from Catherine, on this fan site, and thought it was so appropriate: "I have learned many things but greatest lesson I have ever learned is how to love and be loved. I learned that from Michael Jackson. Love is forever. That is why Michael Jackson will always live in our hearts. Maya Angelou said people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. The way he made us feel… was loved. Michael Jackson healed, filled and lifted the hearts of people all across this globe. It is time for us to try to "heal the world." RIP dear Catherine! READ MORE HERE

Ingrid Homolla With a very heavy heart I read about Catherine's passing. I will always remember her
as the loving, encouraging and inspiring soul that she is. I will never forget summer 2014 when I spent some weeks at home recovering from surgery. At that time I listened to her radio show, sometimes two shows a day, about 6 hours. Lying in bed or on the sofa and listening to her and her wonderful guests literally carried me to healing and made me feel blissful. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, Catherine. When she called me about one year later her voice on the phone was so familiar to me, it made me cry. Now I'm crying again, sad about loosing her so early.

ty for your departure"
Catherine M. Gross - April 13 at 7:07am · “ Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.” ― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption: A Story from Different Seasons

Catherine M. Gross is daughter, sister, a friend and child of God who created a PLACE IN YOUR HEART where she knew that she could grab us as one, a quiet place to hear the beautiful thoughts that would put us in a place so sweet as roses that grows. Catherine M. Gross, Now she can grab those roses with thorns and carry them to heaven, and she will be filled with so much love and happiness because she touched each of us in her own way. l can remember in 2013 l was in Illinois and was so ill and Catherine called to check up on me. She was in Chicago and l was in the southern part of Ill. near St. Louis and a town called Belleville, and it was winter. One thing lead to another and l told her it would be best that you stay there because you know how much the weather changes in your area, but to have someone that you have only met on line that wanted to come that far... that is pure love and l will always remember that each time l see a cardinal or a blue jay as they sing. It will be the sound of my friend Catherine M. Gross. l love you very much and l will so miss you. l am so glad l did meet you in Gary. You are the example of an angel brought to this earth to touch. Rest in peace my sister You are free and you will always be so beautiful. When the bird sings I thank you for your special friendship and being there when l needed a special ear MAY you rest in peace.
Rip Catherine, You will be sadly missed by all who came to love you here on Facebook... my sincere condolences go out to your family and friends.
I'm deeply saddened by this terrible news of your passing Catherine M. Gross, you were such an inspiration to all of us

Theresa Gonsalves Before I became a Minister of the Gospel of Christ, Catherine M. Gross befriended me when she was a Minister, serving at the Apostolic Church of God (ACOG) in Chicago, Illinois! Our friendship was only diminished at that point when she left that church: we have not seen each other since! We constantly communicated however! And I did not know of her passing until the fifteen minutes before I began to write this post! I know something of the loss of a loved one for I am a member serving at ACOG of its Home going Celebration Team! To the Family of Catherine M. Gross, you have my condolences and you are in my prayers! In Jesus' name: Let it be that God blesses the family and friends of Rev. Catherine M. Gross with HIS comfort, signified by the love and comfort shared by them in memory of Catherine! And let it be that at those special times, that they remember Catherine's love for them in the memories of her in their hearts, and they will smile!

This is what Catherine did for everyone she was in contact with.

I've spent the day working on a painting of Miss Catherine M. Gross in order to deal with the shock of her passing. I don't know what I would have done without her a few months ago. She was and is a light in the darkness, that will shine in my heart always. I will miss her so much, but I know I will see her again one day. I love you always Catherine.

A Place in Your Heart was created by “Rev. Dr. Catherine M. Gross” specifically to lift up the fans of Michael Jackson. In her words: Our purpose to help others remember him, and not the negative media attention that he gained throughout the years. A Place in Your Heart will also showcase other groups that have causes which promote his legacy positively. Love is a verb. So we will be making a conscience effort to make sure our purpose is not forgotten. We are not going to sit around and dream about love. We believe if words can make someone hate you..then words can make someone love you. We are building a love wall. If words can make you hate someone, then word's can make you love them as well. We are going to get the word out in a variety of ways! This is a love campaign for Michael Jackson. http://www.aplaceinyourheart.org http://www.blogtalkradio.com/a-place-in-your-heart

I tried to find as many posts left by friends on her personal and group Facebook pages. Please forgive me if someone was left out. It was only because I did not see your post. Catherine had thousands of Facebook friends and I’m sure you all loved and appreciated the work she done inside and outside of the “MJ Community”. I had not spoken with her much in almost two years, but isn’t it strange how God work? It was just a few weeks before she passed away that we had reconnected. Catherine had been dealing with other projects and battling an illness as well as myself. I pray this tribute book will bring some comfort to those who love and miss her. A special thanks to “Ms. Valencia Dantzler” for reaching out to me, volunteering to attend the memorial service and present the “Letter of Resolve” to Catherine’s family. I also thank her for the video she recorded during the service. You can make a donation in Catherine’s name to the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago. http://epilepsychicago.org/ I’m sure she would have loved that. God bless.
